I photographed Katherine Pawlowski for her cover feature in the July/August issue of Hearing Life magazine, a bimonthly publication that I design for the Hearing Loss Association of America (www.hearingloss.org).
Katherine was named the first Walk4Hearing ambassador in 2014, and she and her mother traveled to many Walks to represent children with hearing loss. A few months ago, I visited with Katherine, now 14, to catch up on her life and learn about her continuing advocacy efforts.
I photographed the family in 2014 for a Walk4Hearing cover feature, and was happy to catch up with them again for this feature shoot. Thanks to my friend Michael Powell (see his wonderful blog here), for serving as my trusty assistant, holding the diffuser and reflector during the shoot.

Very interesting Cindy. Katherine is such a beautiful girl and has a wide future open to her. Will you do the Oct walk in DC? Remind me. Sandy

What a beautiful portrait of this young lady! You can see her bright personality in her face.
Hi Sandy, they’re doing all the walks as “virtual celebrations” until further notice.
